Heskey's a given to come on at some point I suppose.

People twittering that he's starting... on the wing.

Ha ha she has deleted the tweet and changed it to hoping to see Emile start and she doesn't know what position.

He will definatly start on the right wing in my opinion.

This is why I don't understand why fans want him to build a side here. He's dropped his 9.5m signing a few times this season (remember Spurs as well when we had 6 defenders?!) and now he's dropped him again for Heskey. I know they've had an argument, but at least put their differences aside for the good of the club? Heskey is useless in midfield where we need we to pass the ball around. We'll revert back to hoofing again.

In fairness I think we could do with Heskey's strength today, just a shame it's one of our creative players that will miss out.

If Heskey IS in the wing, I am flying over for the protest and will buy Dazzy a pint.

I just think his Mrs. is frustrated.         I mean when was the last time he scored?

Surely he's not starting Heskey?

It would be a very very poor decision. There's no point in us trying to be too defensive, I'd definitely start Gardner.

I'd bet Money on Heskey starting on the wing, for all unconvinced.

If Heskey scores we'll all have to devour a big ol' slice of humble pie, followed by a swift dessert of egg on my face.

My favourite meal whenever i've criticised anything Villa related.
